As the "Mutant Phenomenon" goes public, Professor Charles Xavier gathers five teenagers: Scott (Cyclops), Jean (Marvel Girl), Hank (Beast), Bobby (Iceman), and Warren (Angel) to his school to train them as the X-Men.
Magneto makes his move, attempting to "liberate" mutants from a government holding facility. The X-Men must stop his Brotherhood while preventing a panicked military from deploying prototype "Sentinel" drones. The film ends with the X-Men remaining in the shadows, viewed as a myth or a threat by the public.
